This incident really pissed me off, so I asked Liu Shan to contact the director. I was no longer in the mood to care about ghost marriages.
I invited my father to dinner at our university that day. I had only invited him to dinner once before, and it was at a small restaurant. He didn't like to waste money. Ever since my mother died, my father has been so frugal.
That day I asked my father for twelve dishes, and he looked at me and shook his head.
"Xiao Zuo, is there something wrong?"
"No, no."
I tried hard not to let the tears flow.
I dare not think that my father will die. How could he die when he is not old enough to die? Seeing that he is doing well, it is not a problem for him to live for another few decades.
I got drunk that day and went home to sleep.
When I woke up the next afternoon, my father poured me a glass of water.
"Drink some water and eat."
After dinner, I went out and went to He Dana's place.
"Don't take anything to heart. Everyone will die sooner or later."
I didn't want to say anything more, so I stayed up until dark and went home to drink and eat with my father. Xiaozhe could see that I was unhappy, so he went to study after dinner, and Gujuan also went back to her room.
My father talked until midnight that day. During these 24 hours, he might die at any time.
My heart sank into the water. I wanted to spend every minute of this time with my father. My father went out, saying he was going to buy something at a state-owned store. The state-owned store was not far from our home, so I did not follow him. Who knew that ten minutes after my father went out, the neighbor called me.
"Ke Zuo, Ke Zuo, hurry up, hurry up..."
The voice was very anxious and loud, so I rushed out.
"Hurry up, your dad is in trouble at the intersection."
I ran over and saw my father lying on the ground, covered in blood. I rushed over, carried him on my back and ran to the hospital. When we arrived at the hospital, everything was over. My father came out of the emergency room, covered with a white sheet.
I held my head and cried. If I had followed him, would I have escaped this disaster? I regretted it.
After my father was hit by a car, he died. The driver ran away and no one saw it. I called the police, but there was no surveillance at that time and no one saw it.
The police investigated for a month and really had no clues. It should be a passing car.
He Dana came, comforted me, and told me that the murderer could be found.
He Dana used the algorithm of Yinxue to calculate it. An hour later, he said he could see a line and asked me to follow him.
I was not in the mood to ask him about this. All I had was anger, so I rode my bike with He Dana.
That day, I rode for four hours and arrived at a rural village, which was a village on the border with this province. There were no cars in the yard, and I felt that He Dana had made a mistake.
"This is the one. I won't go in yet. Let me take a look at the situation."
We hid in the woods of the village and stared at this house. We could see clearly that there was an old man and woman, a son, a wife, and a four-year-old child in the house.
That man should be the one driving the car, as people at that time drove government cars.
That car belonged to the village, a Jiefang car. We found the car at the village office. I looked at it and could tell that the crashed parts had been repaired.
He Dana and I entered the village office. The village chief was there. He looked at us and asked us what was the matter.
"It's okay, just taking a look."
After we were sure, we came out and left the village. He Dana asked me what to do
"If you call the police, you know the result. If you want to settle it privately, one is money, the other is..."
I understand what He Dana said.
"Let me think about it. I'll go back to the village."
"Don't be impulsive."
I entered the house, grabbed the man and started beating him with electric shocks until he fell to the ground. Then I left. None of his family members came to stop him or fight back. It seemed they all knew what was going on.
He Dana and I went back and drank. I didn’t know what to do.
My mind is in a mess now. My father's body is still in the freezer. It has become a dead body. The case has not been closed and the body cannot be cremated.
"Forget it, let the police handle it. His father, mother, wife, and children are all right. He is the one who is wrong. I don't want him to feel the pain of losing his loved ones."
"Xiao Zuo, you did the right thing. I really didn't misjudge you."
The police were brought to arrest the guy, and then they set up the mourning shed for a day. Because the body was left there, Gujuan was in mourning and Xiaozhe was in a daze, probably because he didn't know what death was.
That day, Yunbai came and kowtowed to her father before leaving. She cried from the bottom of her heart, and I didn't say anything.
"Take Xiaozhe away and send him back in two days. I don't want her to see too much."
Xiaozhe took it away.
I burned my father with my own hands. I couldn't describe the pain that day. It was an indescribable discomfort. It was an indescribable feeling. It was different from burning other people. It really was like I was burning myself, burning myself, burning everything about myself. I was burned out.
Ji Yihe sent an urn, which was really beautiful. He buried his father in the ancestral tomb, which was a nice piece of land.
Liu Shan made paper figurines for me, and all these friends came.
A few days later, when I was at work, the manager called me and mentioned the incident of the Yin kiss.
"Liu Shan hasn't been found yet? It's been almost thirteen days, right?"
"Yes, the day after tomorrow. Liu Shan said it's hard to find and it's very troublesome."
I didn't say anything else. I entered the morgue, looked at the bodies, found one that was about the same age and a little more handsome, and then contacted the family.
As for ghost marriages, some people were unwilling to do so and some were willing to do so. The man was not married and his family members agreed, but they wanted money, one thousand yuan. At that time, one thousand yuan was really a lot of money.
"This is your marriage, there is no reason to ask for money, you should give us money."
The family disagreed, so I looked for someone else. Unexpectedly, they came to me and said they agreed and would give us 100 yuan. I wanted to scold them, but then I thought, forget it, it's done.
Liu Shan did all this. As for how he did it, I don’t know and I’m not in the mood to ask.
A few days later, I went to Liu Shan's place for a drink and the matter was not mentioned again.
We drank until dark that day. Someone rang the bell and Liu Shan opened the door. A man came in. He was a man with a ghost green birthmark. Such people are given birthmarks by ghosts. It is also a normal phenomenon. When they die, there will be ghosts leading the way. This means they owe something. As for what it is, He Dana can tell from the birthmark. It doesn't affect the matter. But don't think about getting rid of the ghost green birthmark. Without it, the ghost will make other marks on me.
The man sat down.
"When building a house, you need the best."
"Then let's build a building!"
"That's fine, the second floor is as big as a real house."
Liu Shan was stunned.
"Generally, if a person is tall, then he is considered tall."
"No, I want that big one. Here's the deposit, one thousand."
This guy is quite rich.
"Okay, two thousand dollars."
“No.”
The price is not low, but it takes a lot of effort to build such a large second floor.
"I'll start working tomorrow. If you're interested, come and take a look."
"Of course, I must watch it."
During this period, Gujuan has been very obedient. She does housework, takes Xiaozhe home and takes care of him. I think it would be nice to have such a woman. My father has said that I can marry her.
But I can’t get married and I have to observe mourning for three years, that’s for sure.
Liu Shan was working on a vacant lot. When I went there a week later, the big frame was already up. It was really great.
Liu Shan came over and sat down.
"Won't you find a helper?"
"No, this is the biggest thing in my life, and I did it all by myself."
"How long?"
"It will take at least a month."
Liu Shan is obsessed with paper-making. To him, it is a handicraft and a work of art. Every time he finishes one, he burns it. I don’t know what he thinks and whether it hurts.
I didn't expect Liu Shan to get into trouble. This happened on the 28th day, the 28th day of making the small building. When I went over, Liu Shan was actually lying in the small building. It was completed two days ahead of schedule. The small building was so beautiful. I didn't expect that a paper building could be made to this extent.
The door was half open. When I went over, I didn't see Liu Shan, so I called him, but there was no response. I opened the door and saw Liu Shan sitting on a chair inside the small building. There was everything that should be there, and there was another person sitting next to him. It was a paper figure, but at first glance, it seemed like a real person.
"Liu Shan, what are you doing?"
Liu Shan didn't move.
"Brother, stop playing, it's scary."
Liu Shan still didn't move, and I felt something was wrong.
I rode my old broken bike to pick up He Dana.
He Dana said while standing outside the small building.
"Zha Liu, it's really amazing. I've seen paper-cuts like this before, but I've never seen one as beautiful as this. It's worth it to see it once in a lifetime."
"Liu Shan is inside. I called him but he didn't say anything. Maybe something happened."
He Dana opened the door and saw Liu Shan sitting inside with someone sitting next to him.
"Oh my god, that's his wife. I've seen you before. A very beautiful woman. She's been dead for many years."
"What on earth is going on?"
"I don't know now. It's really strange. How could such a thing happen?"
He Dana had no intention of going in.
"what to do?"
"This is really troublesome, let's call Ji Yihe over!"
I called Ji Yihe again. This person rarely shows up and seldom leaves the yard. After he heard about it, he actually came.
When he saw the house, he was stunned.
"It's so beautiful. Zha Liu actually did such a beautiful job."
"What's going on?"
"I know about this. There must be some flaws in a work. This time, Zha Liu played it perfectly. As for this small building, it can be said that there is nothing flawless."
"Missing er?"
I didn't understand and asked.
"Nothing can be perfect, just like when I made the casket, there would always be some flaws. If it was perfect, there would definitely be problems. I never dared to try. When Zha Liu and I were drinking, he said he wanted to complete a work without any flaws. I advised him, but he didn't listen. That would be fatal. I didn't expect that this guy would really do it."
"what to do?"
"You are a refiner, burn it."
"How to burn it? Just like that? There are people inside."
"Yes, there is no other way but to burn it."
"Wasn't that man burned to death?"
"Go ahead, I'll find a way."
"That's a shame. They paid a deposit."
"There's nothing I can do. It's just like this. I can't blame anyone else, I have to blame him."
I won't do it. I don't have the courage to burn a living person. That's a crime.
Ji Yihe glanced at his watch.
"Okay, let's burn it in the middle of the night and go inside to drink."
When we were drinking, I asked why it was burning
"You talk too much. I'll burn you if you're told to."
He Dana actually got angry with me. Damn it, let me burn the living. I can burn people to death, but I am not good at burning living people.
I was forced to do it that day. I set the small building on fire in the middle of the night and closed my eyes.
Unexpectedly, within two minutes after the fire started, Liu Shan ran out screaming, then looked at it in amazement, and then slapped his thigh.
"My house, my house..."
I'm totally confused. What's going on
Liu Shan was pulled into the house.
"You kid actually didn't leave any gaps, you're looking for death!"
Ji Yihe cursed Liu Shan.
"It's so perfect that I forgot to leave any gaps while I was working on it."
When we returned that day, Liu Shan still regretted that house. It was indeed a pity that it was burned down. It took only a month. (To be continued)
